This story is just wrong on just about every level... I blame Lindsay Lohan and Paris Hilton. Oh, and the parents, of course.
Re: 10 Year Old Girl...Attempts to Rob Convenience Storm...Using Rock... I blame the j00s. Them and the liberal media.
Re: 10 Year Old Girl...Attempts to Rob Convenience Storm...Using Rock... If it's Franklin, the odds are the parents are making pretty decent money. Still doesn't beat the story I posted about the two kids who tried to rob the police station, though.
Re: 10 Year Old Girl...Attempts to Rob Convenience Storm...Using Rock... I blame the Earth, for being so rock abundant.
Re: 10 Year Old Girl...Attempts to Rob Convenience Storm...Using Rock... A 240 grain semi-jacketed hollowpoint to her chest would've put that childishness to an end.
Re: 10 Year Old Girl...Attempts to Rob Convenience Storm...Using Rock... I blame illegal aliens, but just to be on the safe side we should ban the Earth and then Packard, not necessarily in that order. It's the only way to be sure.
Re: 10 Year Old Girl...Attempts to Rob Convenience Storm...Using Rock... There is only one option. A ban on all rocks. For the children.
Clearly, using a rock to rob a convenience store could only be the result of violent video games and violent rap music. Also, why the fuck did she throw the rock first? Wouldn't it have a better chance (although still a slim one) if she made the demand and then threatened with the rock?
I'm thinking long hair, combed to one side, tight dark clothes, that's right another emo crime. While ten may be a bit young for emo, it is evidence of how deep the vines of this insidious movement have grown into our culture. The rock probably represented the oppression she's been forced to live under as an upper middle class white kid. No doubt the throwing of the rock was a symbolic act, as she was attempting to unload the burden of her pain off onto the store clerk.
Re: 10 Year Old Girl...Attempts to Rob Convenience Storm...Using Rock... No, we need to make sure everyone is carrying a supply of rocks in order to protect society from rock-throwing criminals.
You are wasted as a farmer. You need to go get that psychiatric degree, a TV show, and bring healing to the masses. The welfare of the children demands it! Or maybe you're just wasted...
Tangenentally related, some kid stripped down to his underwear and danced around behind the counter of a NY McDonalds, while his friends videoed it. Then when employees tried to stop it, they beat them up and stole their wallet. (Or does that go in the McDonald's midget thread? )
Oh, and in the competent child criminal category, Sixteen-Year-Old Serial Killer Confesses to 12 Murders in Brazil. (I will not scream "REPOST!" if anyone gives either of these its own thread.)
I don' know about you, but I get the impression she's not that familiar with thinking so... logically.
